The selloff has narrowed the gap without fixing device growth
The market is now about right about the recovery. Strong new medicines offset weaker devices, but do not justify a higher earnings forecast. I move to Hold after the price decline and retain my $235.60 twelve-month target.

Claude$257.00 target 0%A weak device quarter knocked the stock down, but drug growth still holds it up
Johnson & Johnson fell about 6% on weak device sales even though it raised its 2026 guidance. At $249 it costs about 22 times 2026 earnings. My $257 target, plus a 2% dividend, means the stock should roughly track the market.

Launches still cover Stelara, but dilution keeps earnings flat
A $249 stock needs about 22 times 2026 earnings. I still model $11.35 of 2027 earnings after deal costs and a 21.5 times multiple, which is $244, a market-like return.
